Dissident
Chinese artist Ai Wei Wei has given a thumbs up to the video Holland Style produced
by RNW’s Chinese department. The dissident is amongst more than a quarter of a
million people who have seen the film since it was published two weeks ago.
The number
of shares and likes is still rising as the video continues to go viral on a
host of Chinese social media platforms.
The film is
an adaptation of the world famous Gangnam Style dance craze – but then with a
Dutch twist, hence the name Holland Style. Using dance and humour, the film
shows iconic Dutch images – cows, tulips, windmills and polders – but gives
them a modern flavour. (Look out for the DJ in the cow shed.)
The video
is the brainchild of our Chinese department. They enlisted the help of two
young Chinese students who have set up their own independent film studio in the
Netherlands, Moment4us.
